Optical Barrier V3 – Presentation

The Optical Barrier V3 consists of :

• An optical unit equipped with an emitting diode, reception photodiode, electronics with relay or transistor output and power supply.
• A terminal block with protection cover or a connector fitted with high temperature cable with metallic braid.
• A hood for lens protection with air purging connection.
• An optional water-cooling plate for use at ambient temperature higher than 70 °C.
  

Operating principle<

The visible and modulated beam emitted by the diode is reflected back by a prism reflector placed opposite to the sensor, then detected by the photodiode which outputs a signal to the processing electronics. Product presence is determined if the beam is blocked or not. Beam modulation, special optical filter and automatic correction make the sensor insensitive to ambient light.
